You know, I’m still a Perl guy at heart, but I ended up getting into PHP because the apps I was interesed in were written in PHP. Perhaps someday the apps I’m interested in will be written in Ruby, and then I’ll take a look at it.

As it stands today this isn’t good:

bash$ which ruby
/usr/bin/which: no ruby in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/pete/bin)

Besides, if I look at certain companies I know, PHP is just now beginning to make inroads and find more use, so it may be years before Ruby shows up.

No matter, I have nothing against Ruby, I mean, as long as I can avoid ASP and ColdFusion, I’ll be fine. Heck, I’ll even deal with JSP! ;)

Well, that is odd. Ruby is installed in /usr/bin on my machines and as I have never done anything in Ruby it should be part of the default install methinks.
There’s also loads of libs in /usr/lib/ruby/1.6.
